Find Your Perfect London Pad, Watch The Arsenal & Save Money

Stress-Free Tips for Finding Your London Flat-Share

Living in London is expensive and we all know watching the Arsenal can be expensive so why not free up some cash for a few more Arsenal tickets by flat sharing and using a North London Is Red exclusive voucher code to get £100 off your first months rent? That’s a ticket to an Arsenal game, travel to and from the game, a few drinks in The Tolly, a Piebury Corner pie, a programme and change.

The average price of private rental in London is more than double in the rest of the UK, with house prices being 61% higher than the National average and double those in the North East.  According to Myrooms, if you want  to live in London and enjoy all it has to offer, flat sharing is one of the best ways to achieve your dream!

You won’t be alone, did you know that around 670,000 households in London,  live in the private rented sector, a higher proportion than the national average of 14.2% (source).

Work Hard, Play Hard

When looking for your ideal room share in London, there are two main factors that every young professional will want to take into consideration; the journey to work and the local entertainment scene.  Good transport links are essential to ensure your career runs smoothly and access to a vibrant mix of local nightspots, restaurants and shops will help you make the most of your leisure time.  Commuting around London is not going to be cheap and often paying a higher rent to live in Zones 1 and 2 can work out more cost-effective than living in Zones 5 and 6. Plus, you will never be more than 5 minutes away from a tube so the whole of London’s nightlife, sights and attractions will be on your doorstep. And, because you’ll spend less time commuting you’ll conserve more of those precious hours, to maximise your London experience.

Finding Flatmates You Can Really Click With

It’s worth giving this one some thought, because life is not just about bricks and mortar and the perfect postcode.  So what’s important to you in a flat mate?  If you’ve shared before you might have an inkling, but if not make yourself a wish list. Do they smoke, what’s their attitude to the cleaning roster, do they know the price of a loaf of bread; what time do they get up & go to bed; what are their hobbies, loves, hates and viewing habits; what music do they like, full-blast or nice and quiet!  You get the picture.

Living with a stranger (s), can be a really exciting and beneficial bonanza, it can help you to:

• Broaden your horizons
• Learn new interests
• Network
• Expand your musical repertoire
• Experience different cultures
• Learn to negotiate, compromise, persuade and influence!
